Chapter 496 (2/2)

Only at this moment did Wen Qingxuan turn her gaze to look towards Mu Chen. Her pair of noble and arrogant phoenix-like eyes started to size him up, giving off what seemed to be the flavor of an examination. In the next instant, a shade of ridicule curled from the corner of her red lips as she said, “Captain Mu Chen, I’m here to make a deal with you.”

“What deal?” asked Mu Chen in slight startlement.

With a clench of her jade-like hand, an Academy Plaque appeared within Wen Qingxuan’s hand. Present on the surface of the Academy Plaque was a number nearing 8000, the number of points this plaque possessed. Although they knew about this, Xu Huang and the other two still sucked in a breath of cold air, while their hearts and minds were filled with shock. After exhausting themselves for so long, the number of points they had was actually not even half of what Wen Qingxuan possessed. These girls were too terrifying.

“Captain Mu Chen, I’ll give all of these points to you. Furthermore, I’ll guarantee your admission into the final match. However, the condition is that you allow Luo Li to join my group. What do you say?” Grasping her Academy Plaque in her hand, a smile surfaced at the corner of Wen Qingxuan’s mouth as she gave her reply.

Hearing those words, Xu Huang and the other two instantly gawked as they vacantly looked at Wen Qingxuan. Clearly, they did not understand the meaning of what she had said. She wants to use those points to exchange for Luo Li?

Mu Chen and Luo Li had also gawked at those words. However, frowns quickly started to slowly appear on Mu Chen’s forehead as he thought, This Wen Qingxuan’s actually aiming for Luo Li?

A frown also appeared on Luo Li’s forehead. Looking towards Wen Qingxuan, she said in a somewhat displeased manner, “Captain Wen Qingxuan, what is this about?”

Not replying to Luo Li, Wen Qingxuan continued to grin as she looked towards Mu Chen.

Staring straight at Wen Qingxuan, Mu Chen’s gaze turned dull as he slowly replied, “I don’t know exactly what you want to do; however… Captain Wen Qingxuan, let’s not talk about a mere 8000 points, even if you use yourself to exchange for Luo Li, I would feel that it’s not worth it in the slightest.”

Although he knew that the girl before him wasn’t benevolent or virtuous, her strength was on a level that caused even him to feel danger. However, Mu Chen could not permit her to act that brazenly and wilfully here. Therefore, he no longer remained courteous with his reply.

“Outrageous!”

Upon hearing Mu Chen’s reply, the four similarly alluring and beautiful girls standing behind Wen Qingxuan instantly roared with their sweet voices.

As for Xu Huang and the other two, they quietly stuck out their thumbs. Faced against a girl like Wen Qingxuan, Mu Chen might be the only person that would treat her like that.

“Oh really?”

A grin still hung on Wen Qingxuan’s absolutely beautiful face, with the only change being the slight jump in those pair of phoenix-like eyes. Clearly, it was also extremely rare for her to bump into anyone that dared to speak to her in such a manner. Although she didn’t have the thought to compare herself to Luo Li, the tone present in Mu Chen’s reply, which sounded as if she was absolutely unable to be compared to Luo Li, was something that she wasn’t too fond of. After all, there’s always some pride and arrogance in every girl’s heart. What’s more, a girl like her, who was always the centre of attention wherever she went…

Upon hearing Wen Qingxuan’s reply, spiritual light sparkled from the hands of the four girls behind her, especially from the twins, with unique fluctuations starting to radiate from them.

Wen Qingxuan wasn’t the only strong person with this group. Even her four other group members weren’t people that were easy to deal with. If each of them were to go their separate ways, every one of them would be able to take charge of a group by themselves.

Sensing that the atmosphere had turned into something that wasn’t quite right, Xu Huang and the other two quietly revolved their Spiritual Energies. Although they knew that the group before them possessed terrifying strength, if it was needed for them to take action, they would go all-out without any restraint.

Luo Li’s forehead started to knit up, since she clearly didn’t expect that the situation, which was originally somewhat friendly, would turn into this in an instant. Nevertheless, without speaking a single word, she slowly tightened her grip on her Luo God Sword as her lovable face grew slightly frosty. As long as Wen Qingxuan and her group took action, she would not hesitate one bit to take action herself.

Although she had quite a good impression towards Wen Qingxuan, it was nothing compared to her relationship with Mu Chen.

The minute action of Luo Li tightening her grip on the Luo God Sword was noticed by Wen Qingxuan, leading to her gently puckering her little red mouth. Sending a sweet smile towards Mu Chen, she said, “What I’ve said just now was a joke. You won’t be offended by it, right?”

Sensing the change in attitude from her tone, Mu Chen could only nod his head while remaining silent.

Seeing Mu Chen nod his head, Wen Qingxuan gave a light laugh, with her voice growing increasingly gentle and soul-rapturing. “However… I do take mind in the words you’ve said earlier. Could the renowned Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road allow me to experience the ability you possess that made Luo Li stay by your side?”

Bang!

At the very instant when her gentle voice rang out, frightening Spiritual Energy erupted from her body, like a volcano. With a clench of her jade-like hands, an exceedingly gorgeous golden-coloured spear surfaced within. With a whoosh, the spear tip was thrust straight towards Mu Chen.

At this instant, the atmosphere froze up.
